A complex nose with black fruit, leather, and a bit of earthiness. Light on the palate but an immediate bite of black pepper tannins and a good bit of acid, but then smooths out with the underlying black fruits. Pleasantly surprised by a bottle that we're not quite sure where it came from! — 4 days ago

A bouquet of peaches on the nose, smooth medium body, lots of acid and even more minerals that linger. — 2 months ago

Lots of earthiness and some briny olives on the nose, dark fruits with that earthiness and brine on the palate too, a nice round body with some soft tannins that linger. — 13 days ago

Dark fruits (black plum) and a bit of chocolate on the nose, bigger bodied but smooth, more fruit forward than expected, some very mild tannins that linger but not a ton. Hoping it goes well with the steak and mushrooms chef is cooking! — a month ago

Lemon curd and minerals on the nose and palate. Nice smooth and silky body, but then a good amount of acid that cuts through. Yum!!! — 24 days ago

Wet earth and mushrooms, a hint of ripe black plums on the nose. Light and smooth body with zing of acid the end that turns into light but lingering tannins. Tart black cherries and a rich earthiness. Yum! From Oregon Class, definitely need to seek out Willamette Valley pinots! — a month ago

Very light aromas... red fruits and a little banana. Smooth, round body up front, with a burst of tart cherries as the acid comes through. Very drinkable and food friendly! — 2 months ago
